3 Years

I recently had the opportunity to meet up with a few of my bloggy pals for a Tiny Prints event.  {And two of us may or may not have shed a few tears over how long it had been since we had seen each other.}

Actually, pals is not the right term.  These ladies are dear friends.

Want to know how we met?  {waggles eyebrows}

Twitter.

Yes, that wonderful social media outlet connected me with three amazing ladies almost three years ago.

Alyssa and I attended the same Dave Ramsey event, after seeing the other was going (yes, via Twitter) and planned to meet up.

Rachel and I got in a discussion (again, thank you, Twitter!) about homeschooling.  She is the one who forced encouraged me to join skype.  She is also the one who introduced me to Stephanie.

The rest, I suppose, is history.

When I think of all we have gone through together, I am amazed and thankful.  We have had our ups and downs, jokes and debates, shared both joy and sorrow, as well as, lots and lots of laughter and prayers.  Through it all, we have remained tight.  The four of us are so different, yet we are truly the same. We get each other.

The four of us, we aren’t the same as we were on that hot June day in 2009.  In some ways, life was easier back then; less complicated.  I would like to say we are older and wiser, but I’ll probably get smacked for calling those of us over 30 anyone in that photo “older” 😉  It still blows my mind to realize just how much time has passed.  I am truly thankful every day for these incredible friends.

Changes… Life… it is so much easier to handle, and to love when you have great friends.
